Oh, ok. I see you updated your signature. The old one led me into believing you attended the PEPC on 04/08.

From my personal experience, they give a conditional clearance before they pull your credit and before they even receive the OPM (not FBI) security forms from your references. I am guessing they just make sure there's no match on the fingerprints and no disqualifying information is reported on the SF-86 (or SF-85 if you are terminal).

Although my background is clean, I was really surprised to get a conditional clearance in only four days. That was even faster than the medical. My references got the security forms a week AFTER my conditional clearance.
